“There are people out there who put their lives on the line every single day,” said Gardner, who also said they want to include language in Spanish and Vietnamese somewhere on the truck, so that the entire community will see it as something shared.

Gardner said that since the April 9 fire that took the lives of Philadelphia Fire Lieutenant Robert Neary and Firefighter Daniel Sweeney, they have felt a need to connect the community with those who serve in the fire department.
